Budget Committee to post financial records, status reports, online

In order to improve transparency and provide better information to York's residents on the town, school and library budgets, the Budget Committee has started to post this information on the town's website.

Copies of the financial statements, Budget Committee summaries and status reports reviewed will be posted after each committee meeting. Minutes of each meeting will be posted after they are approved.

Residents with questions concerning any of the reports are encouraged to contact a committee member for explanation.

The Budget Committee meets monthly from April to January.

During February and March the committee meets twice weekly to review the next year's budgets.
